First for /team Floersch/

M8 I literally mentioned I was writing as SIDF. Your post was literally pointless.

Just like Max at Monaco :^)

Threadly reminder.

Hi guise! What cha doin?

5th for sick fresh oc

Threadly reminder

#StrollWDC2017

two weeks to car reveals niggas

Lol maplebro. This year's Williams was definitely designed by last year's engineers.

Heave spring works in situations where both wheels move in the same direction vertically. It compresses and prevents your ride height from getting too low.
Anti-roll bar works when one wheels moves in opposite direction to other wheel, preventing roll.

A heave spring is (traditionally) used to control up and down movement.

When the front end dives under braking, both rocker arms turn inward, and the heave spring manages that.
By replacing the spring with a more complex hydraulic unit, you can make the car a lot more stable under braking, and over kerbs.

It was reasonably well covered by F1 technical reporters last year, Google should give you a heap of shit if it interests you. Though as always, try to avoid articles by a T.Kravitz, as they will undoubtedly contain incorrect information.

So the top element of the suspension moves in 3 demension? That's cool

No Im wrong aren't i? Spoke too soon...

Thanks boomerang cunt

As far as the whole shit fight over the "tech" goes:

In simplest terms, they use the hydraulic unit to store pressure generated by up and down movement. Then when the car is leaning in a corner, they use that stored pressure to level the car out.

They basically turn dumb suspension in to a passive version of active suspension, and that rustles jimmies.

Was just bantz famborghini

je kankermoeder

Thanks, almost forgot.

Dion?

neen

that's not the 2017 car

Winter Stream back to life again

Spain 1986 at Jerez is on

Habbenings soon

I'll fix the titles because that is triggering me.
I'll add championships but the idea was how many drivers a country has produced to each world champion.
I will try remove every "home race only" driver because I agree that they shouldn't really count.
I probably won't get round to it until tonight ~12 hours time, so give any more feedback and ideas now if you want to.

At the moment my plan is to do 3 sections, raw numbers, home only racers removed and championships (using the home racers removed number of drivers). I will also add a ranking column because it will make it easier to see because each section will have a different ranking.

This is a lot of autism to go through to try and pretend New Zealand isn't shit at F1

Now this is the sort of autism we need.

>inb4 this thing somehow ends up in reddit and then a shitty f1 page does an article about it

That's not why I'm doing it at all. We were talking about what country had the best drivers to WDC ratio and I was curious.
No need to be upset because >we are better
:^)
Should I add some /F1/ autism water mark somehow?

remove the Indy car only drivers, or guys who only did the 500.

also, reminder that Lotus was a good team

put an /f1g/ watermark in the background so at least you'll get credit for your autism

who was that, Senna's teammate or?

Martin Donnelly

The "home race only" thing should remove any racer that only did one race like that
I can probably figure that out

The only association Senna had to Martin Donnely (sp) was the Senna movie. It was only brought up to provide context to his dealing with Prost saying he thought himself invinsible

reporting in this bitch.
i don't know what to think about the new cars tbqh

I just noticed Kvyat's twitter background. Why did he do this, what does it mean, what does he want to say?

Sexy?

Is Schucumber ever going to recover?

Also, does anyone remember the date when he chaged his twitter background picture? Is it possible to learn somewhere?

Just highlighting the moment his career went into the shitter.

I knew he striped it of all references to Red Bull when they demoted him, but the header image is much newer than that.

>based Danil not giving a single fuck

Well, the only archive i've found is from 6 may 2016 archive.li/Z7MGR

>45 days, 8 hours, 2 minutes and 18 seconds
What to do?

You now remember Gaston Mazzacane.

You the lad who wanted more Formul/a/ 1?

>implying I can forget
>stank up Minardi in 2000
>stank up Prost in 2001

I remember the majority of paydrivers from 1998 till now

You now remember:
>Nicolas Kiesa
>Yuji Ide
>Sakon Yamamoto
>Esteban Tuero
>Tora Takagi
>Karun Chandok

That was In 2015. Look at the nose and livery of the Ferrari

Fair point.
Then, what tracks have yellow lines and pedestrian crossings other than Albert Park?

Get yourself together man.
Move to Philly, buy a Loft, Start a Noise Band, get 6 or 7 Roommates, Eat Humus with them, book some Gigs, Smoke Cloves, Piant, listen to Animal Collective, Start some type of Salsa company

Monaco

That's probably it, then.

...

I remember buying some F1 preview fan book for 2005 back in the day and they had Nicolas Kiesa as a Minardo main driver. Apparently some money issues happened along the way and he lost his seat.

Fuck Ferrari. Fuck everything they stand for. Fuck the money they get. Fuck their drivers, they don't even CARE anymore. Fuck Arrivabene who is a fucking talentless hack. Fuck their shitty cars that they still can't get right after three fucking seasons with the new engines. Fuck their reliability problems. Fuck their statement every single year for the past three years that they would do better, and they haven't. Fuck their idiot fans that blindly follow them just because they're Ferrari. Fuck their half-arsed approach to the entire sport. Fuck their continuing pretence that they're hot shit when they're anything BUT. Fuck Ferrari. Fuck all of them. Fuck every single fucking person who works there. Fuck their entire management, fuck their entire staff, fuck everybody in that fucking company who has anything to fucking to do with their shitty fucking Formula 1 team.

Fuck Ferrari.

I can't wait for the day when the US GP gets higher ratings than some handegg on sunday and jerry jones with all of espn is forced to an hero.

...

>mwl

so beautiful

sorry m8 but that will never happen in this country

you'd need an american driver first, a few more US GP's and netter coverage would boost interest in the US though.

slow your dump, autismlord

...

...

I can't wait for the day the US abandons commercials either

probably the best sequence of wheel to wheel we had all season.

>you are now wet

...

It's the run to the first corner at Monaco 2015, where Kvyat locked all four like a sperg to get past Ricciardo, and subsequently held him up for most of the race when Daniel could have been on the podium...
